This was the first course in a while to keep me on the edge of my seat.

For me, the best thing was getting clarity on several aspects within the GSM environment. The technical environment is not always clear, but Rob was able to explain things with great clarity.

The course has provided a different perspective to me with regards to the technical setup within the telecoms industry. The biggest value-add I found was the confirmation on certain control processes that should be in place to mitigate the risks within the business, which we are currently deploying.
